Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Here is my concern. You say "I expect the compiler to catch that and provide me quick access to fix it". This means you are using system resources to cater for your undisciplined programming approach.
That to me is a lack of commitment to the bottom line of the BUSINESS. If you are compiling on a production server to resolve your spelling mistakes, I think that is a misuse of CPW. If you have a development server, go for it. If you have a development PC, go for it.
On another note, could you care less? or could you NOT care less? I don't understand this american colloquialism.

I think we just have different approaches. I take time to understand flow, but I could care less if I named something incorrectly because I expect the 
compiler to catch that and provide me quick access to fix it.  Yes I use
Ctrl + Space, when it works, to alleviate some naming errors. I am looking 
forward to the day LPEX supports refactoring :-)

Finding a balance is important, and that is what I have found.
